'''Teravolt''' (Japanese: '''テラボルテージ''' ''Teravoltage'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Kyurem|Black Kyurem}}.

Teravolt ignores the effects of {{Abilities}} that could potentially affect the damage or effects of a move that its user executes. For example, a Pokémon with Teravolt can hit opponents that possess {{a|Levitate}} by using {{m|Earthquake}}. Teravolt applies regardless of target Pokémon, but only to moves executed by its user (so if two Pokemon in a [[Double Battle]] both know Earthquake, only the Pokémon with Teravolt can hit a Pokémon with Levitate).
{{main|Ignoring Abilities}}
 
When a Pokémon with Teravolt uses a move, the effects of all Pokémon's {{DL|Ignoring Abilities|ignorable Abilities}} are ignored for the execution of that move. (Ignorable Abilities are most Abilities that could potentially negatively affect the success, damage, or effects of a move if possessed by the target of a move or its allies.) For example, a Pokémon with Teravolt can cause [[critical hit]]s to opponents that have {{a|Battle Armor}}.
Unlike {{m|Gastro Acid}}, which completely negates a target's Ability, the opponents' Abilities otherwise remain in effect:
* Abilities that prevent status conditions (such as {{a|Immunity}} and {{a|Oblivious}}) will not protect the Pokémon from receiving the status condition; however, many of these Abilities also have effects to cure the Pokémon of the status condition if afflicted, which are not negated by Teravolt.
* If a Pokémon with {{a|Own Tempo}} consumes a held {{cat|Berries that may cause confusion|Berry that may cause confusion}} in response to the move of a Pokémon with Teravolt, it will become confused if it dislikes the [[flavor]] (although Own Tempo will then activate and cure it of confusion).
 
Teravolt can ignore the Abilities of Pokémon other than the target; for example, if a Pokémon with Teravolt uses {{m|Thunder Wave}} on a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon whose ally has {{a|Flower Veil}}, the target will still be {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}}.
 
When a Pokémon with Teravolt uses a move, even the effects of allies' Abilities (notably {{a|Flower Gift}}, {{a|Sweet Veil}}, {{a|Aroma Veil}} and {{a|Flower Veil}}) are ignored for the duration of that move. As such, if the move of a Pokémon with Teravolt triggers an Ability (such as {{a|Gooey}} or {{a|Cursed Body}}) or item (such as [[Destiny Knot]]), the Pokémon with Teravolt will not be protected by its allies' Abilities; likewise, if a Destiny Knot held by a Pokémon with Teravolt is activated during the use of its own move (such as in response to the target's {{a|Cute Charm}}), that target will not be protected by its allies' Aroma Veil. This also means that a Pokémon with Teravolt will not gain {{stat|Attack}} due to an ally's Flower Gift.
 
If a Pokémon with Teravolt forces a Pokémon to switch in with a move like {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Dragon Tail}}, Abilities that affect [[entry hazard]]s will be ignored if possible. If forced to switch in this way:
* Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}} will be affected by {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, unless they are {{type|Flying}} or holding an [[Air Balloon]].
** {{type|Poison}} Pokémon with Levitate can remove Toxic Spikes, if they are not Flying-type and not holding an Air Balloon.
* Pokémon with {{a|Immunity}} will be {{status|poison}}ed by Toxic Spikes (although Immunity will then activate and cure them of poison).
* Pokémon with {{a|Leaf Guard}} will be {{status|poison}}ed by Toxic Spikes even during [[harsh sunlight]].
* Pokémon with {{a|Simple}}, {{a|Contrary}}, {{a|Clear Body}} or {{a|White Smoke}} will have their {{stat|Speed}} lowered one stage by {{m|Sticky Web}}.
* {{type|Grass}} Pokémon that have or have an ally with {{a|Flower Veil}} will be poisoned by Toxic Spikes, and will have their Speed lowered one stage by Sticky Web.
 
In Generation VI, a Pokémon with {{a|Overcoat}} will be affected by {{cat|powder and spore moves}} as well.


When a Pokémon with Teravolt is brought out, the message "'''<name> is radiating a bursting aura!'''" will be displayed.

Teravolt ignores the following Abilities, even in situations where the Ability could increase the power of a move (such as using {{m|Low Kick}} on a Pokemon with {{a|Heavy Metal}} or using a {{type|Fire}} move on a Pokémon with {{a|Dry Skin}}):
Teravolt no longer ignores {{a|Dark Aura}} and {{a|Fairy Aura}}, though it will still ignore {{a|Aura Break}}.

For example, a Pokémon with Teravolt can cause critical hits to opponents that have Battle Armor.

When a Pokémon with Teravolt is brought out, the message "<name> is radiating a bursting aura!" will be displayed.

Teravolt no longer ignores Dark Aura and Fairy Aura, though it will still ignore Aura Break.
